Thanks for the info. From what you and Hair have said I think maybe it is going to be something about the saddle. She has used it on many many different horses. But has never had a problem when whe rides in her western saddle or anyone elses English. I feel it has to be that saddle.

She really very seldom uses it except to play in. most to play jocckey. She likes to make the stirrups real short and race her horse with her sister in law. She is mostly a barrel racer. When she was younger and trail rode with her friends she would use the English saddle and that is when she noticed that after awhile she had discomfort in her rump. She got to where she only used it in the 4H shows she competed in. Last month when she used it at the show,(first time in several years) she felt the discomfort alot sooner, my guess is because since she is grown up now she is heavier, which makes sense that it is the saddle.???

That sounds like it's the saddle (there's a reason that cowboys used to call an English saddle a "chafing dish".)

I would look into a gelpad and a sheepskin saddle cover. She can't show with the saddle cover, but it sure will help when she's practicing or just riding around.

Here's a pic of an Alfa gelpad, a popular brand:

And here's the sheepskin pad in place:
